Subject: The impact of distraction!
I am planning on using this activity with my 10th-grade students who have just finished Fahrenheit 451. I've found some videos on YouTube about the impact
...
of distractions on the mind. We'll view those, and then I'm going to get them to do an experiment on themselves - we're going to go outside, leaving all electronics, books, backpacks, etc. in the classroom. I'm going to have them sit ALONE for 10 minutes and then come back and write about how it felt to be without the usual distractions for that amount of time.
I love the math part of this activity and I really appreciate the time and effort you put into creating it. Here are the questions they'll address in a writing assignment. **
1 paragraph summarizing the role of DISTRACTION in “Harrison Bergeron”.
1 paragraph summarizing the role of DISTRACTION in Fahrenheit 451.
1-2 paragraphs reflecting on the impact of DISTRACTION in your life (remember when you were outside without all of the usual distractions).
1-2 paragraphs reflecting on the impact of DISTRACTION in society. **
This may also result in some sort of formal conversation - like philosophical chairs (AVID Strategy) where they defend their views.

Very disgusted by two of the reviews posted. Not only do these "teachers" display horrible manners and a complete lack of professionalism, but it is obvious
...
that they have NO classroom management skills what so ever. To them I say; don't blame the text for your inability to manage your class.
This was a very interesting short story with multiple currents to ride with your students.
